I've noticed it more busy the last two months. My local business is up 25% this year. National is down slightly... which equals out to being even with last year. October was my busiest month ever. Lot of bigger jobs

I work with a lot of cannabis companies so Oct/Nov are always busy for me because it's harvest season for them.

It's been crazy busy this year.
Usually oct-dec we lose money - October we did 200k Proffitt, November and December we already have 150k Proffitt booked... I think in the 50 years the company has been in business, that's only ever happened once or twice. I think this year we have a 30% jump in revenue.
It's funny because we're also dead - it's a lot of larger projects that pay well, that we knock out quickly.... Almost all of our 1-5 smaller ord sign jobs have disappeared last month, and it's all larger projects.
My home / second business has been busy too - same thing.... Larger orders, I used to do 1-2 signs for random people which took up a ton of time, now I'm spitting out couple thousand dollar sticker / lamacoid orders for multiple customers every month.
The economy here overall seems to be down, with most people limiting their spending... But it seems like the bigger companies and government jobs have been spending like crazy.
